"Díaz, 32, has a 10.50 ERA in seven appearances this season for the Dodgers, who made a splash signing the reliever on the free-agent market to a three-year $69 million deal, a record for a reliever."
"Afterward, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed concern about Díaz's performance: 'Today was a tough evaluation, it really was. Because, you know, I know what it's supposed to look like, and when it doesn't look like that, it gets a little concerning, really.'"
"The Dodgers were going to 'tread lightly' with the reliever's workload as he worked to improve his velocity, which had been down to start the season."
